    Yeah, but to be fair, the mass panic only started after you registered your details with local Estate Agents.

    You can't beat bricks and mortar, house prices only ever go up, etc.

    Personally I'd wait a few months until prices hit £2M, sell up and leave the country. By then £2M will buy a nice big villa overlooking the Med, sod Lyme Bay!

    Never mind SB, if you manage your overdraft properly this month, maybe you can replace a tiny bit of thatch on your hovel.
    Like I would swap my extensive views of Lyme Bay for the opportunity of seeing Battersea Power Station through the smog!

    Dream on!

    I used to. Parts of it are nice enough, but it's a bit overcrowded for my liking. I moved into zone 1 and then out to somewhere a bit leafier & quieter.
